Until my decision is made, I get to feast on them all.
They are mine.
After the demise of my uncle, the O’Sullivan family has yet to choose the new Don. With two brothers and a vengeful, unhinged cousin also vying for the position, tension is rising in an already dangerous business.
Especially since no one knows that I’m responsible for my uncle’s disappearance.
Enter the Hands of Kings, a global cult with the ability to replace CEOs, Presidents, and Popes. And their leader, Victor, has his eye on me.
Few men were made to be Kings and Victor has plans for me, plans that do not require my approval.
But an unseen enemy is hiding and they know my secrets. They are manipulating the people around me with the intention of taking my crown.
A King is not so easily dethroned, especially when threats are made toward me and mine.
No one shall have my brides.


When Kings Rise is a dark mafia romance, intensified by the presence of a cult, with mature themes, mature language, and very mature steam.

Finley-
I walked away from him and never looked back or gave Brennen any justified rhyme or reason for leaving. I thought about him over the years. Was he happily married with children and living life to the fullest?

I shouldn’t have broken up with him. Brennen meant everything to me. Yet, at that time in my life, my family needed me more. Now, I was in the same town as Bren and stuck in a situation I desperately wanted out of.

My life was a disaster and I had failed in more ways than I could count on two hands.

Would Brennen be my knight that I needed him to be? Could I confide in him the most ultimate secret that I had been hiding for over a year?

EXCERPT

“Save the child…please,” the witch pleaded.

Roman glanced over his shoulder at the tiny lifeless form a foot away. Spending precious time attending to the small girl would be fruitless. As he leaned in, the woman’s eyes flared as she sniffed him. Roman slipped his arm around her back, but she shoved him, swinging her arm out at an angle, slashing his face and drawing blood. Shit, he should’ve known the knuckle dusters were more than mere decoration. Grabbing her wrist, he dragged off the two rings, the blades now visible, and slipped them inside his pocket.

“Stop fighting me…I’m trying to help you.” He lifted her closer, but like a contortionist, the witch twisted and bent to the side, removing a thin, long knife from her ankle strap, which she waved at him, smiling.

“You’re a bloodthirsty monster…”

If he had a penny for every time he heard that. Cocking his head, Roman peered at the firecracker who didn’t know when to quit.

“Hm, not thirsty, I’ve already had my share of fresh virgins today, but I suppose…I could make an exception,” Roman said.

“Argh!” she shouted, raising the steel knife, ready to stab him.

But he caught it between his hands and threw it away, where it landed in the nearest tree. Perhaps the witch was not as wounded as he thought, and he reexamined the mortal, who continued to thump his chest.

“I hope you choke on my blood…” she spat.

Title: Colored Lies 

Author: V.J. Lee 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 


COVER 



BLURB

I’m Jordan Ann Bland, Jo to my friends.

I hate lies.

I know from personal experience they ruin lives. To me, every lie has a color. The only lies I usually tell are pink ones; they don’t hurt anyone, but they make my life more exciting, much less—well, bland, and I don’t even have to leave the comfort of my home.
Then one night, I go against everything I believe and tell a gray lie, the kind that can hurt others, and it happens in front of one of the sexiest men I’ve ever seen. Now, I must keep telling these lies, so he doesn’t catch onto my secret. These gray lies are now turning into one of the worst-colored lies—black. This is why I hate all lies other than the pink ones.
To make things worse, this gorgeous man is dragging me around to do every pink lie I ever told; I have a feeling he knows I’m a liar.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

I’m Roman Joseph Arndt-Blackwell, RJ to my friends.

I hate all liars.

Chalk it up to a bad past relationship. I don’t want to be around liars, or get stuck in another relationship with one. But when the petite blonde in the bar makes a comment I know to be one whopper of a lie, I feel I need to do something about it, even though I must lie to her in turn—trust me, I know how hypocritical it is. Still, something about Jo draws me in, as much as it pushes me away.
My scheme to out her as a liar, opens my eyes to fun and, quite possibly, love. I do know one thing I refuse to do is fall for another liar, no matter how attracted I am to her.

I hate liars, even though I am one.

Tropes: Fated Mates/Alien Romance
Release Date: July 8, 2023

BLURB

Warrior. Doctor. Spy. I am Commander Helion, a heartless terror, relentless and unforgiving. Merciless.

My destiny is not to claim a female, to have a family, to be rendered helpless by love.
Despite this, I am matched. A beautiful human female is now mine. Despite my warnings, she is determined to leave her mark on me, body and soul.
Honor demands I resist. I tell her the truth. I will not place a mating collar around her neck. I cannot protect her—especially from me—my choices—the horrors I face every day.
Just one moment of weakness and she gets under my skin, makes me want things I cannot have. She is everything I am not—and the most dangerous creature I have ever faced.
Claiming her—keeping her—is not possible with my pivotal role in this never-ending war. There is no place in my duties for desire. For need. Too many innocents count on me for protection. Too many lives are at stake, including hers.
The enemy is always ready and waiting, but I never expected her to be among them.
For the first time in my hardened life, I question my sanity. My dark soul. I begin to understand exactly what my enemies have stolen from me—and realize there is no limit to what a heartless warrior will sacrifice for love.

EXCERPT

I shuddered and pushed Danika, the Hive and the sanctuary out of my head. No more Hive experiments for me, thank you very much. But feeling what Zarren was feeling? Sharing his emotions? I needed that if I was going to keep him. Desperately.

Suddenly unsure, I tucked the third mating collar away inside my trunk before heading for the living room. I didn’t know if Zarren would be there when I opened the bedroom door. Didn’t have any idea whether he would have stuck around or left me here alone—probably so he could go to his comm station and send some kind of complaint or inquiry as to the Bride Program’s return policy.
Leaning my forehead against the cool door, I counted backward from ten. Slowly. I hid the mating collar, curling it up in the palm of one hand so I could wrap my fingers around it in a tight fist. The collar would bind us together, make our needs and emotions one.
I simply refused to believe Zarren was as cold-hearted and intractable as he seemed. If he were like that on the inside, the matching program would have sent him a robot, not a woman. Not me.
Before I could lose my nerve, I opened the door and took two steps into the barren living area. To my relief, Zarren was seated at the table, head bent over his task as he organized his super-secret, not-for-me papers.
He was gorgeous. The nearly constant state of arousal I’d been in since the processing simulation roared back to life.
He didn’t look at me as I stepped closer, but his nostrils flared. Could he smell my need for him? His hands curled into fists on top of the table. When he spoke, his words were nearly a growl. The tortured sound encouraged me to move even closer.
“What do you think you are doing, female?”
